One Apple A Day #600 - rituals and celebrations
This morning I picked the card "Ritual" for my morning reflections. Then, when I opened the laptop to write this post, I realised this is the apple number six hundred. This ritual has been going on for quite a while now. When I started, I planned to do it for 90 days in a row and then stop. But then it was such an enjoyable experience that I've decided to keep going. Every now and when I ask myself when will I stop. Will I ever reach the destination of this journey? Is there a destination at all?
I don't know. What I know, or I should better say what I feel is that this small ritual of mine is aligned with who I am. I'm an explorer, and like any explorer, I have my journal or logbook to keep track of my discoveries so one day I'll be able to share them with the world.
I'm well aware that celebrating significant milestones is essential. And this is one of those. It means I've spent 600 mornings in the last two years or so, writing and sharing something. Who would have known that someone like me, who gets quickly bored, would have stick to a habit like this one for so long? I know now that this is possible only when the practice becomes part of our identity. So, this morning post is definitely part of who I am.
With that in mind, I'm already thinking about the next post. The one I was planning to write today before I realise it was time to celebrate.
So, be aware, I have no plan to stop.
